If you only need 100GB of storage, than Wuala is $29/year more than SpiderOak. They also both seem to have friendly, and responsive support, but SpiderOak seems to have the edge when it comes to customer serviceīetween the two, Wuala is much more user friendly and feature-rich, but it comes at a price premium. They both encrypt data on the computer before transmitting it, keeping both companies from being able to ever access your data without knowing your key. Overall, both services work very well, and do seem to live up to their promises of keeping data secure.

CONS OF ZOOLZ FREE

Offers only 2GB of free storage, then only offers 100GB / $100 / Year plans - there are no smaller packages for people who may need to store only 10-20GB of data.

The client can only sync folders that are on the computer - you can't create "online only" folders, or add a file to a folder that's on another computer without creating a sync to the computer you're currently using.

Their web interface is read-only - there is no way to upload a file on a computer that does not have the client installed.

The user interface needs a lot of work, and can be rather confusing to navigate and setup.

HTML based web access - no Java required.

LAN Sync support, which cuts down on bandwidth usage and sync time between computers.

Offices amazing discounts occasionally (in March, they were offering a lifetime $125/year "unlimited data" subscription).

Does not lock files - you can work on them while it syncs them.

Fairly reasonable/straightforward pricing ($100/year per 100GB).

Doesn't offer LAN sync support, so syncing files between computers is always done over the Internet.

Online access requires Java - if you want to access your files from another computer that doesn't have Java, too bad.

Extremely annoying for constantly-written files like logs).

File locking - if a file is being synced/uploaded to Wuala, other programs won't be able to write to that file until Wuala completes (this is annoying if you save a file, and then quickly make a change and re-save it.

Their prices seem to be among the highest of personal-grade cloud storage companies.

Offers smaller plans (5/20/50GB) for lower storage demands.

CONS OF ZOOLZ DOWNLOAD

Offers a java-based "online access" that allows you to download and upload files without installing Wuala on your PC.Can create both backup and sync folders.Extremely easy to roll back files and entire folders to a specific date.Allows "online only" folders (such as data you want stored online, but not necessarily on any of your computers).Very easy to use - interface is similar to an Explorer window.Both are nice programs, and here's my evaluations of them: I've looked at both SpiderOak and Wuala, and tested out their free versions. I'm in the same boat as you - I've lately been having a less-than-satisfactory experience with SugarSync, and I'm looking to switch to a new cloud provider once my subscription is up. PS: Here's a good recent article about the subject but I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations! I would say perhaps about 100GB of space would be sufficient.

CONS OF ZOOLZ PC

I don't care about sharing files with other people or syncing between multiple devices, but only to keep synchronized from one PC to the cloud, either automatically or on a schedule. Probably I'm looking to locally encrypt everything, which I suppose will be the most secure way? Bonus points if the service offers this already! Also, I would of course keep a local copy in case the cloud services dies. I know the most secure place is "not connected to the internet", but I am looking for some of the best options for the services that are. The service should prioritize privacy and security. I am not going to store illegal or malicious content, yet I want my data to be free from the prying eyes of the hosting company or any other agency requesting access. I'm looking for inexpensive, secure, reliable, and fast cloud storage for a single user (myself).
